Comment The actual distance set is the product of
n
and the current line
spacing. Factory default value disables bottom margin. The
current default value may be set by the operator. Setting a new
forms length (ESC C) resets the bottom margin to zero.
If the distance set is equal or greater than the form length,
printing is only allowed on the top line of each page.
This feature is disabled whenever vertical tabs are set.
Bottom margin can also be selected from the control panel;
however, vertical tabs within the bottom margin zone, as set by
